  • Dover, England, is a major port for ferries to Calais, France. The White Cliffs of Dover form part of the English coastline facing the Strait of Dover and France. The cliff face, which reaches a height of 350 feet (110 m), owes its striking appearance to its composition of chalk accented by streaks of black flint. The cliffs, on both sides of the town of Dover in Kent, stretch for eight miles (13 km). June 2017

Charming Historic Cottage stay in charming historic village!

This was everything advertised and better. Lexie was about the best host we have ever had. She lives so close by that she was literally there to check on us and ask if we needed anything or any recommendations almost EVERY time we were coming and going. She even shared her own groceries with us when we realized that everything was closed on our arrival day. The cottage is adorable and across from a Michelin star restaurant (Bridge Arms) and down the street from a wonderful farm-to-table old manor inn (The Pig) where we had memorable meals. The only thing I'd caution is that it's out-of-the way and we found that the bus service was unreliable. Plan on taxis if you don't have a car!

Thank you for such a lovely stay in the Primrose Cottage at Shippe!

Amazing property in quaint village just outside of Canterbury, UK. Owner was extremely welcoming and accommodating. We had plenty of space and the full kitchen and washer/dryer met our needs perfectly. Parking was a little challenging, but definitely manageable. Would book again in a heartbeat!!!

wonderful accommodation

We had a wonderful stay with this cottage in a great location. You could reach Canterbury in a short time by bike and yet the cottage was in a quiet location. Also London is easily accessible by train from Canterbury. The village of bridge also had great offers for us with several restaurants, tea rooms and a small super market. We explored the area with our bikes. The cycle paths were well sign posted. The cottage, with its lovely and pretty furnishings, gave us a wonderful holday with great experiences and insights. The cottage was well equipped with wifi, TV and modern kitchen appliences. The landlords were very nice and available to answer any questions.

Lovely cottage

Cosy cottage and Bridge is a lovely place from where you can explore Kent. The owner is very welcoming and gives you a good start with a hamper with food products from the area. The cottage is rather smaller than the impression you get from the photographs. Also, considering that there is no view I think that the price is to high.
